- the relevant prior art includes, for example, EP 0687776 AI, DE 1534421 AI, DE 2632794 C2, FR 2229812 AI, DE 2124416 AI and DE 4038268 AI.
- the spiral element of the screw conveyor surrounds its screw core at a distance and is connected to it via supporting elements (see, for example, DE 3909868 C2, DE 3736865 AI and EP 0675231 Bl).
- the object of the present invention is to create a spreading device of the type mentioned at the beginning, the screw conveyor of which requires a lower torque to drive it even under unfavorable conditions than spreading devices according to the State of the art, in which case a shift in the center of gravity should preferably also be counteracted using simple means.
- the axial spacing of the support elements from one another is at least 1.25 times the value of the pitch of the helical element and corresponds at most to 3.75 times the value of the pitch of the spiral element. It is therefore of particular importance for the spreading device according to the invention that the helical element is not connected to the screw core continuously or virtually continuously, but rather that the helical element is connected to the screw core via individual discrete supporting elements, the supporting elements being at a distance of at least that Comply with each other by 1.25 times and at most 3.75 times the pitch of the spiral element.
- the spacing of the support elements according to the invention ensures that even such helical elements which have an optimized cross-sectional area and shape with regard to the conveyance of conventional scattering materials (in particular salt and grit) are so flexible that the break-up of scatter material consolidation is promoted ,
- the distance that the helical element maintains from the screw core enables the helical element to rotate in the region arranged upstream of the solidification in the region located upstream of the solidification when the delivery zone is clogged, that is to say not as yet against the yet broken solidification promotes.

Rather, within the scope of the present invention, spiral elements can also be used for men whose slope and / or cross-section changes over the length of the screw conveyor. In this case, the distance between the support elements is determined according to the average pitch of the helical element between the two support elements in question. As the pitch of the helical element increases over the length of the screw conveyor, the distance between two mutually adjacent supporting elements also increases accordingly.

Description
Streugerät spreader
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Streugerät mit einem Streustoffvorratsbehälter, einer im Bodenbereich des Streustoffvorratsbehälters angeordneten, motorisch angetriebenen Förderschnecke und einer von dieser gespeisten Streuvorrichtung, wobei die Förderschnecke einen Schneckenkern und ein Wendelelement , das den Schneckenkern mit Abstand schraubenförmig umgibt und mit diesem über Abstützelemente verbunden ist, umfaßt.The present invention relates to a spreading device with a spreading material storage container, a motor-driven screw conveyor arranged in the bottom region of the spreading material storage container and a spreading device fed by the latter, the screw conveyor having a screw core and a helical element which surrounds the screw core at a distance in a helical shape and is connected to it by means of supporting elements , includes.
Streugeräte sind in den verschiedensten Ausführungen bekannt . Sie dienen insbesondere dem Ausbringen von Streustoff in Form von Split und/oder Salz auf Verkehrsflächen zur Glättebekämpfung. Zum einschlägigen Stand der Technik zählen beispielsweise die EP 0687776 AI, DE 1534421 AI, DE 2632794 C2 , FR 2229812 AI, DE 2124416 AI und DE 4038268 AI.Spreaders are known in various designs. They are used in particular to spread spreading material in the form of split and / or salt on traffic areas to combat slippery surfaces. The relevant prior art includes, for example, EP 0687776 AI, DE 1534421 AI, DE 2632794 C2, FR 2229812 AI, DE 2124416 AI and DE 4038268 AI.
Bekannt ist des weiteren, daß bei Streugeräten, die hinsichtlich ihres grundsätzlichen Aufbaus dem Stand der Technik gemäß den vorstehend angegebenen Dokumenten entsprechen, das Wendelelement der Förderschnecke deren Schneckenkern mit Abstand umgibt und mit diesem über Abstützelemente verbunden ist (vgl. z.B. DE 3909868 C2 , DE 3736865 AI und EP 0675231 Bl) .It is also known that in the case of spreading devices which correspond in terms of their basic structure to the state of the art according to the above-mentioned documents, the spiral element of the screw conveyor surrounds its screw core at a distance and is connected to it via supporting elements (see, for example, DE 3909868 C2, DE 3736865 AI and EP 0675231 Bl).
Bei Streugeräten sind je nach Ausführungsart zwei Problemkreise mehr oder weniger ausgeprägt. Zum einen neigen verschiedene Streustoffe dazu, sich im Bereich der Förderschnecke zu verfestigen, insbesondere bei Fahrten mit gefülltem Streustoffvorratsbehälter ohne Betrieb des Streugeräts; dies führt dazu, daß zum Andrehen der Förderschnecke extrem hohe Drehmomente erforderlich sind, so daß entsprechend große, schwere und teuere Motoren zum Antrieb der Förderschnecke vorzuhalten sind. Des weiteren ist bei konventioneller Geometrie der Förderschnecke eine Verlagerung des Schwerpunkts des Streugeräts während des Streueinsatzes zur Austragsseite hin zu beobachten. Da dies aus Gründen der Fahreigenschaften des Streufahrzeuges unerwünscht ist, sind verschiedene spezifische Geometrien der Förderschnecke (in Förderrichtung zunehmende Steigung des Wendelelements, in Förderrichtung zunehmender Durchmesser des Wendelelementes, in Förderrichtung abnehmender Durchmesser des Schneckenkerns) entwickelt worden, die zwar den Abzug des Streustoffes über der Schneckenlänge vergleichmäßigen und somit das Problem der Schwerpunktverlagerung entschärfen, die jedoch im allgemeinen mit einer Verteuerung der Herstellung der Förderschnecke verbunden sind.Depending on the type of spreading device, two problem areas are more or less pronounced. On the one hand, different spreading materials tend to solidify in the area of the screw conveyor, in particular when traveling with a filled holding container without operating the spreading device; this leads to the Starting the screw conveyor extremely high torques are required, so that correspondingly large, heavy and expensive motors for driving the screw conveyor are available. Furthermore, with the conventional geometry of the screw conveyor, a shift in the center of gravity of the spreader can be observed during the spreading operation towards the discharge side. Since this is undesirable for reasons of the driving properties of the spreading vehicle, various specific geometries of the screw conveyor (increasing gradient of the helical element in the conveying direction, increasing diameter of the helical element in the conveying direction, decreasing diameter of the screw core in the conveying direction) have been developed, which indeed remove the spreading material above the Uniform screw length and thus alleviate the problem of shifting the center of gravity, which are, however, generally associated with an increase in the cost of manufacturing the screw conveyor.
Vor dem Hintergrund der vorstehend dargelegten, bei gattungsgemäßen bekannten Streugeräten mehr oder weniger ausgeprägten Nachteile liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Streugerät der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, dessen Förderschnecke zu ihrem Antrieb auch unter ungünstigen Bedingungen ein geringeres Drehmoment benötigt als Streugeräte nach dem Stand der Technik, wobei bevorzugt darüber hinaus mit einfachen Mitteln einer Schwerpunktverlagerung entgegengewirkt werden soll.Against the background of the above-described, more or less pronounced disadvantages in the known spreading devices of the generic type, the object of the present invention is to create a spreading device of the type mentioned at the beginning, the screw conveyor of which requires a lower torque to drive it even under unfavorable conditions than spreading devices according to the State of the art, in which case a shift in the center of gravity should preferably also be counteracted using simple means.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabenstellung bei einem Streugerät der eingangs genannten Art dadurch, daß der axiale Abstand der Abstützelemente zueinander mindestens dem 1,25-fachen Wert der Steigung des Wendelelements und höchstens dem 3,75-fachen Wert der Steigung des Wendelelements entspricht. Von Bedeutung für das erfindungsgemäße Streugerät ist somit insbesondere, daß das Wendelelement nicht durchgängig oder quasi durchgängig fest mit dem Schneckenkern verbunden ist, sondern daß vielmehr die Verbindung des Wendelelements mit dem Schneckenkern über einzelne diskrete Abstützelemente erfolgt, wobei die Abstützelemente einen Abstand, der mindestens dem 1,25-fachen und höchstens dem 3, 75-fachen Wert der Steigung des Wendelelements entspricht, zueinander einhalten. In Verbindung mit dem weiteren für das erfindungsgemäße Streugerät wesentliche Merkmal, wonach das Wendelelement einen Abstand zum Schneckenkern einhält, d. h. nicht an diesem anliegt, ermöglicht dies bei entsprechender Dimensionierung des Wendelelements eine solche elastische Nachgiebigkeit des letzteren, daß dieses sich insbesondere im Bereich von Streustoffverfestigungen derart elastisch verformen kann, daß das Aufbrechen örtlicher Streustoffverfestigungen zur vollständigen oder weitestgehenden Wiederherstellung der Rieselfähigkeit begünstigt wird. Der erfindungsgemäße Abstand der Abstützelemente zueinander stellt dabei sicher, daß auch solche Wendelelemente, die eine im Hinblick auf die Förderung herkömmlicher Streumaterialien (insbesondere Salz und Splitt gebräuchlicher Körnung) optimierte Querschnittsfläche und -form aufweisen, so nachgiebig sind, daß das Aufbrechen von Streustoffverfestigungen begünstigt wird. Zudem ermöglicht der Abstand, den das Wendelelement zum Schneckenkern einhält, daß das Wendelelement bei Verstopfung der Förderzone durch eine noch nicht aufgebrochene Streustoffverfestigung in dem stromaufwärts der Verfestigung angeordneten Bereich durchdreht, d. h. nicht Streustoff gegen die noch nicht aufgebrochene Verfestigung fördert. Auf diese Weise steht ein größtmöglicher Anteil des in die Förderschnecke eingeleiteten Drehmoments zum Aufbrechen möglicher Verfestigungen zur Verfügung. Dementsprechend können zum Antrieb der Förderschnecke kostengünstigere, leichtere und schwächere Antriebsmotoren vorgehalten werden, als dies bei gattungsgemäßen Streugeräten bekannter Bauart der Fall ist.This task is solved in a spreader of the type mentioned in that the axial spacing of the support elements from one another is at least 1.25 times the value of the pitch of the helical element and corresponds at most to 3.75 times the value of the pitch of the spiral element. It is therefore of particular importance for the spreading device according to the invention that the helical element is not connected to the screw core continuously or virtually continuously, but rather that the helical element is connected to the screw core via individual discrete supporting elements, the supporting elements being at a distance of at least that Comply with each other by 1.25 times and at most 3.75 times the pitch of the spiral element. In connection with the further feature essential for the spreader according to the invention, according to which the helical element maintains a distance from the screw core, ie does not rest against it, this allows the elastic dimension of the helical element, given the appropriate dimensioning, for the latter to be so particularly in the area of solidification of the spreader can deform elastically that the breakup of local scattering material consolidation is favored for the complete or extensive restoration of the flowability. The spacing of the support elements according to the invention ensures that even such helical elements which have an optimized cross-sectional area and shape with regard to the conveyance of conventional scattering materials (in particular salt and grit) are so flexible that the break-up of scatter material consolidation is promoted , In addition, the distance that the helical element maintains from the screw core enables the helical element to rotate in the region arranged upstream of the solidification in the region located upstream of the solidification when the delivery zone is clogged, that is to say not as yet against the yet broken solidification promotes. In this way, the greatest possible proportion of the torque introduced into the screw conveyor is available for breaking up possible solidifications. Accordingly, cheaper, lighter and weaker drive motors can be provided for driving the screw conveyor than is the case with generic spreading devices of known design.
Des weiteren hat sich gezeigt, daß bei Ausführung der Förderschnecke gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung auch das Problem der Schwerpunktverlagerung maßgeblich entschärft wird. Trotz des vergleichsweise einfachen, mit relativ geringen Herstellkosten verbundenen Aufbaus der erfindungsgemäßen Förderschnecke ist bei mit dieser ausgerüsteten Streugeräten eine deutlich reduzierte Tendenz zum ungleichförmigen Abzug des Streustoffes aus dem Streustoffvorratsbehälter zu beobachten, als bei bekannten Streugeräten, mit konventionellen Förderschnecken. Bei erfindungsgemäßen Streugeräten erfolgt ein vergleichsweise gleichmäßiger Abzug des Streustoffes aus dem Streustoffvorratsbehälter über die gesamte Länge der Förderschnecke, so wie dies sich bisher allein mit teuren Förderschnecken mit spezieller Geometrie erreichen ließ. Bei erfindungsgemäßen Streugeräten läßt sich sogar eine Vergleichmäßigung der Verteilung des Streustoffes in dem Streustoffvorratsbehälter nach einer zuvor künstlich hergestellten ungleichmäßigen Verteilung beobachten.Furthermore, it has been shown that the execution of the screw conveyor according to the present invention also significantly alleviates the problem of shifting the center of gravity. Despite the comparatively simple construction of the screw conveyor according to the invention, which is associated with relatively low manufacturing costs, a significantly reduced tendency towards non-uniform removal of the spreading material from the spreading material storage container can be observed with the spreading devices equipped with it than with known spreading devices with conventional screw conveyors. In the case of spreading devices according to the invention, the spreading material is drawn off comparatively uniformly from the spreading material storage container over the entire length of the screw conveyor, as was previously only possible with expensive screw conveyors with a special geometry. In the case of spreading devices according to the invention, an even distribution of the spreading material in the spreading material storage container can be observed after a previously artificially produced uneven distribution.
Eine erste bevorzugte Weiterbildung der Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß das Wendelelement aus Federdraht besteht. Die hervorragenden elastischen Eigenschaften dieses Werkstoffs begünstigen die vorstehend dargelegten Effekte insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit dem Aufbrechen von StreustoffVerfestigungen, um die Riesel- fähigkeit wieder herzustellen. Der Federdraht kann dabei insbesondere einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt aufweisen. Zwingend ist dies jedoch in keiner Weise. Vielmehr kommt beispielsweise auch ein quadratischer oder flacher Rechteck-Querschnitt in Betracht.A first preferred development of the invention is characterized in that the spiral element consists of spring wire. The excellent elastic properties of this material favor the above effects described, in particular in connection with the breaking up of spreading material consolidations in order to restore the flowability. The spring wire can in particular have a circular cross section. However, this is in no way imperative. Rather, a square or flat rectangular cross-section can also be considered.
Besonders bevorzugte Abstände der einzelnen Abstütz- elemente zueinander sind dabei im Hinblick auf eine günstige Formbeständigkeit des Wendelelements in seitlicher Richtung der 1,33 -fache und der 1,66-fache Wert der Steigung des Wendelelements. Dies führt zu einer sehr guten Abstützung des Wendelelements an dem Schneckenkern in radialer Richtung, das heißt einer mäßigen, den angestrebten Erfolg begüngstigenden Nachgiebigkeit des Wendelelements in radialer Richtung. Bei entsprechend größerem Querschnitt des Wendelelements und einer hierdurch bedingten größeren Steifigkeit sind beispielsweise auch der 2, 33-fache und der 2, 66-fache Wert der Steigung des Wendelelements als axialer Abstand der Ab- stützelemente zueinander sehr günstig.Particularly preferred distances of the individual support elements from one another are 1.33 times and 1.66 times the value of the pitch of the coil element with regard to a favorable dimensional stability of the coil element in the lateral direction. This leads to very good support of the helix element on the screw core in the radial direction, that is to say a moderate flexibility of the helix element in the radial direction, which favors the desired success. With a correspondingly larger cross-section of the helical element and a resulting greater stiffness, for example, the 2.33 times and the 2.66 times the value of the pitch of the helical element as an axial distance between the support elements are very favorable.
Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung können die Abstützelemente starr ausgeführt sein, beispielsweise in Form von - unter normalen Betriebsbedingungen - starren radialen Speichen. Besonders bevorzugt ist indessen, In the context of the present invention, the support elements can be rigid, for example in the form of rigid radial spokes under normal operating conditions. However, it is particularly preferred
wenn die Abstützelemente in radialer und/oder tangentia- ler Richtung elastisch nachgiebig ausgeführt sind. Beispielsweise können die Abstützelemente jeweils aus zwei Rohrabschnitten bestehen, von denen der eine in dem anderen teleskopisch verschiebbar geführt und mittels eines Federelements elastisch nachgiebig abgestützt ist. Auch können die Abstützelemente im Hinblick auf eine radiale und tangentiale Nachgiebigkeit gekrümmt ausgeführt sein. Die entsprechende radial und/oder tangential elastisch nachgiebige Ausführung der Abstützelemente läßt eine quer zur Längsachse der Förderschnecke gerichtete elastische Nachgiebigkeit des Wendelelements zu, die auch das Aufbrechen von Streustoffverfestigungen begünstigt und sich somit ebenfalls günstig auf das Betriebsverhalten des Streugeräts auswirkt.if the support elements are designed to be resilient in the radial and / or tangential direction. For example, the support elements can each consist of two tube sections, one of which is guided telescopically in the other and is elastically and resiliently supported by means of a spring element. The support elements can also be curved with a view to radial and tangential compliance. The corresponding radially and / or tangentially elastically resilient design of the support elements permits elastic resilience of the helical element, which is directed transversely to the longitudinal axis of the screw conveyor, which also promotes the breakup of spreading material consolidation and thus also has a favorable effect on the operating behavior of the spreading device.
Eine andere bevorzugte Weiterbildung der Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß der radiale Abstand des Wendelelements zum Schneckenkern mindestens dem Radius des Schneckenkerns entspricht . Im Falle dieser Dimensionierung ergibt sich bei durchschnittlichen Verhältnissen ein besonders günstiges Verhältnis zwischen der Förderung des Streustoffes im normalen Betrieb und der Möglichkeit, daß die Förderschnecke bei Vorliegen einer Streustoffverfestigung durchdreht .Another preferred development of the invention is characterized in that the radial distance of the helical element from the screw core corresponds at least to the radius of the screw core. In the case of this dimensioning, there is a particularly favorable ratio between the conveyance of the spreading material in normal operation and the possibility that the screw conveyor will spin when there is a consolidation of the spreading material.
Da die spezifische Gestaltung der Förderschnecke bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Steugerät bereits dem Problem der Schwerpunktverlagerung entgegenwirkt, wird das Wendel- element im Hinblick auf geringe Herstellkosten im allgemeinen über seine Länge eine konstante Steigung und einen konstanten Querschnitt aufweisen. Dies ist jedoch keineswegs zwingend. Vielmehr können im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung auch Wendelelemente zum Einsatz kom- men, deren Steigung und/oder Querschnitt sich über die Länge der Förderschnecke ändert. Die Bestimmung des Ab- standes der Abstützelemente zueinander richtet sich in diesem Falle nach der durchschnittlichen Steigung des Wendelelements zwischen den beiden betreffenden Abstützelementen. Bei über die Länge der Förderschnecke zunehmender Steigung des Wendelelements vergrößert sich auch dementsprechend der Abstand zwischen jeweils zwei zueinander benachbarten Abstützelementen.Since the specific design of the screw conveyor in the control device according to the invention already counteracts the problem of shifting the center of gravity, the helical element will generally have a constant pitch and a constant cross section over its length with regard to low manufacturing costs. However, this is by no means mandatory. Rather, within the scope of the present invention, spiral elements can also be used for men whose slope and / or cross-section changes over the length of the screw conveyor. In this case, the distance between the support elements is determined according to the average pitch of the helical element between the two support elements in question. As the pitch of the helical element increases over the length of the screw conveyor, the distance between two mutually adjacent supporting elements also increases accordingly.
Im folgenden wird die vorliegende Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung veranschaulichten bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert . Dabei zeigt die Zeichnung in perspektivischer Ansicht eine Förderschnecke, wie sie in einem Streugerät nach der vorliegenden Erfindung zum Einsatz gelangen kann.The present invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of a preferred exemplary embodiment illustrated in the drawing. The drawing shows a perspective view of a screw conveyor, as can be used in a spreader according to the present invention.
Die in der Zeichnung veranschaulichte Förderschnecke eignet sich zum Einsatz in Streugeräten, die hinsichtlich ihrer übrigen Merkmale gemäß dem hinlänglich bekannten Stand der Technik (siehe oben) ausgeführt sind. Es wird daher an dieser Stelle auf eine Beschreibung des Streugeräts als solches verzichtet.The screw conveyor illustrated in the drawing is suitable for use in spreading devices which, with regard to their remaining features, are designed in accordance with the well-known prior art (see above). A description of the spreader as such is therefore omitted here.
Die Förderschnecke umfaßt einen zylindrischen Schneckenkern 1 und ein diesen umgebendes Wendelelement 2. Der Schneckenkern 1 weist endseitig jeweils einen Lagerzapfen 3 auf. Darüber hinaus ist eines beiden Enden der Förderschnecke in als solches bekannter Weise zum Anschluß an einen Antriebsmotor vorbereitet .The screw conveyor comprises a cylindrical screw core 1 and a helical element 2 surrounding it. The screw core 1 has a bearing journal 3 at each end. In addition, one end of the screw is prepared in a manner known per se for connection to a drive motor.
Das Wendelelement 2 ist gebildet durch einen schrauben- federförmig gewendelten Runddraht 4 aus Federstahl . Es umgibt den Schneckenkern 1 koaxial zu dessen Achse 5. Der Runddraht 4 hält dabei allseits einen radialen Abstand a vom Schneckenkern 1 in der Größenordnung des Durchmessers des Schneckenkerns ein.The helical element 2 is formed by a helical round wire 4 made of spring steel. It surrounds the screw core 1 coaxially with its axis 5. The round wire 4 maintains a radial distance a from the screw core 1 on all sides in the order of magnitude of the diameter of the screw core.
Der schraubenfederförmig gewendelte Runddraht 4 stützt sich an dem Schneckenkern 1 über dessen Länge mittels neun Abstützelementen 6 ab, die den genannten radialen Abstand des Wendelelements 2 zum Schneckenkern 1 gewährleisten. Die Abstützelemente 6 sind radial ausgerichtet . Der axiale Abstand zwischen zwei benachbarten Abstützelementen 6 beträgt den 1,66-fachen Wert der Steigung des Wendelelements 2. Hieraus ergibt sich, daß die speichenförmig radial nach außen gerichteten Ab- stützelemente 6 in drei verschiedenen, jeweils um 120° zueinander ausgerichteten Ebenen angeordnet sind. The helical coil-shaped round wire 4 is supported on the screw core 1 over its length by means of nine support elements 6, which ensure the radial distance of the spiral element 2 from the screw core 1. The support elements 6 are aligned radially. The axial distance between two adjacent support elements 6 is 1.66 times the value of the pitch of the helical element 2. From this it follows that the support elements 6 directed radially outwards are arranged in three different planes, each oriented at 120 ° to one another ,
